Hillary's threat

Sometime in the course of Richard Nixon's first attempt  to be elected President the then famous political cartoonist Herblock executed arguably the most hideous parody of a public figure seen until the vicious "journalistic" onslaught on President Trump. It portrayed Nixon rising from a street gutter, unshaven ( a sure sign of degradation in those button down days), dripping with no doubt redolent effluent and accosting Herblock's customary "John Q. Public" figure with the promise "but I'll be different if you elect me".  Throughout their disgraceful public lives the Clintons ( who bid fair to grace us with, one must earnestly hope for the gastric health of the nation, a valedictory progress through the provinces this election season - I had hoped to see them playing mildewed tents at sweltering county fairs by now to raise the funds necessary to support their "politically correct" lifestyle in far suburbia but. . . ) have always said , with crossed and hidden fingers in the style of the carnival huckster he is,  the same to the real America. How especially she loathes our country but they managed to avoid the common touch which so excited the disdain of the fashionable against Nixon and Pat's cloth coat. We need a latter day Herblock to portray Slick Willy and his consort.  Yesterday,  Hillary, in a disingenuous pronunciamento, allowed as how Dems owe  no civility to those  in the electoral majority who seek to destroy everything progressives believe in  (by definition, those who dare to disagree with them and who oppose their crusade to expunge all beliefs which seek to counter their "Democratic"  convictions). BUT, she added, in a hilariously transparent calm and reasonable manner , we will generously relent should the electorate return to its senses and restore us to the dominance which is our right, in November.  Believe us, believe us, we do  (reluctantly) implore you (as we chuckle).

A little background; I worked twenty years with intense inmate contact in a state prison system. So many times I beheld or experienced directly, veiled inmate threats worded so: "You should give me a break - Oh  no? Maybe  there should be a riot and some people in here should get their throats cut  (in response to my having held him responsible for a violation of prison regulations ).  In other words," if you give me what I want, you can count on me to be good". Necessary to the hoped for effectiveness of such ominous suggestion was the universally known reality of past lethal events of this nature and the obvious and immediate possibility of repeat.

Now all of us, including Hillary, are aware of what physical sanctions have already been visited upon those willing to stand up to the thoroughly bigoted American left since President Trump ascended. Rand Paul and his wife have expressed credible fears for their lives  and the lives of other prominent conservatives from unstable extremists blithely provoked by such as Maxine Waters, Al Sharpton and now, yes, Hillary.

Hillary, just as did the semi and some full sociopaths I dealt with in my career , knew just what she was doing in her remarks yesterday. It was a THREAT, cynically and  haughtily delivered with a measured demeanor thinly disguising a  withering sneer at the real America.   Jack
